Ge Washer Model # Gf900483g Help Help Help

On Saturday my GE Washer model no. GF900483G decided to make an excruciatingly loud sound, and an unbalanced sound, stopped spinning and is leaking. The leaking I attribute to old hose (2003 is the year I got this machine) the rest of it no clue.

I need to know how to open the washer so that I can at least LOOK at the guts....Problem I don't know how. Then when I get the thing open I need to know what to look for. OR should I just get a new one???

SLIGHTLY frustrated....The fridge broke Friday and seriously about 1/2 hour after the new fridge was delivered on Saturday the WASHER DIED!!!!!!! BLAH!!!!
